Dermaplaning is pretty popular this year, helping people all over the country get silky smooth skin. Thinking about trying dermaplaning, but not sure if it’s worth the investment of time and money? The pros at Village Salon & Spa can help answer all your questions about this effective and popular treatment.

What is dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a treatment done by professional estheticians that removes those super-fine “peach fuzz” hairs on the face while giving you an effective exfoliating treatment. Exfoliating removes the layer of dead skin cells that don’t come off by regular cleansing.

How does dermaplaning work?

Your expert Village Salon & Spa esthetician uses a special tool to gently scrape your skin, which removes the peach fuzz and lifts away the dead skin cell layer. Dermaplaning is a special treatment that should only be done by a professional esthetician because it requires a precise angle and just the right movement to give you a perfect exfoliating treatment while removing unwanted peach fuzz hairs.

What kind of benefits do you get from dermaplaning?

Regular dermaplaning treatments give you silky smooth skin by effectively exfoliating your skin and removing unwanted hairs.

Removes peach fuzz. Those tiny, almost invisible ‘peach fuzz’ hairs can be a big problem when you’re trying to care for your skin. They can cause a barrier that blocks moisturizers and nourishing skin serums from penetrating, making your skincare treatments less effective. They also make it more difficult to evenly apply makeup, since the hairs make it more difficult to blend in facial makeup. What’s more, some peach fuzz can be visible, which can be embarrassing when you’re trying to look your best for a special occasion.

Exfoliates. Dermaplaning exfoliates your skin, which means removing the layer of dead skin cells and other pollutants that cannot be removed by regular cleansing. This is important for many reasons. First, it helps clear out your pores to help prevent breakouts. Next, it helps your skincare treatments penetrate more efficiently. Finally, it’s a great way to get a jumpstart on antiaging treatments. A slowdown in collagen production and skin cell renewal is responsible for many of the early signs of lines and wrinkles, and that slowdown can start as early as your 20s. Regular exfoliating helps stimulate these skin renewal processes, so exfoliating on a regular schedule now can help your skin look younger for longer. Other benefits of exfoliating include:

• Helping reduce uneven skin surfaces from scarring
• Promotes a more even skin tone
• Helps improve circulation for healthier skin

How often should I get dermaplaning treatments?

Our expert estheticians will help you determine how often your skin needs dermaplaning treatments. In most cases, our clients come in about once every three to four weeks to see the best results for smoother, softer skin.

Should I do anything different in my skincare routine after dermaplaning?

Because it removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, you should take special care of your skin after dermaplaning treatments. Your Village Salon & Spa esthetician will tell you if there’s anything you need to do differently, like avoiding excess sun exposure or some facial scrubs or applying makeup right away.

The simple answer to the question of whether dermaplaning is worth the investment is – yes! Dermaplaning is an effective treatment that will give you unbelievably soft, silky skin that’s just as healthy as it feels.
